Posted on by 224

Two part question:

I have a string in a dropdown to a text field that says something like this:

Wednesday 10/01/2023 Hello

1. I would like to extract the date to a text field so it only says 10/01/2023

2. I would also like to Extract this Wednesday 10/01/2023

 

Please and thank you

    @kgiles123 - there are likely many creative methods to achieve this.

     

    One method (assuming your text field is in a Label)

     

    Question 1:

     

    Index(
     Split(
     Label1.Text,
     " "
     ),
     2
    ).Value

     


    Question 2:

     

    With(
     {
     _get_text: Split(
     Label1.Text,
     " "
     )
     },
     Index(
     _get_text,
     1
     ).Value & " " & Index(
     _get_text,
     2
     ).Value
    )
